Yellowstone's Steamboat Geyser has erupted for the third time in two months! It doesn't erupt very often but it gets real big when it does. The April Steamboat Geyser eruptions released about 200-400 cubic meters of water each, about 10 times the amount of old faithful. The scientists don't know why tf this is happening but it shows theres tectonic plate shifting underneath Yellowstone, causing eruptions.
I think this is pretty cool but also quite spooky. One of the theories of how the world is going to end is that magma buildup under yellowstone will cause a huge explosion, covering the sun and causing extinction (kinda like Pompeii).

I hope scientists can figure out what's going on because this is pretty scary.
